Sfiha, the open-faced ground meat pastry of Syrian cuisine, is prepared by spreading a filling of ground meat with tomato, pepper, and pomegranate molasses over thin yeasted dough and baking it. Served hot, this practical dish is a beloved choice for lunch tables and snacking.
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm water, then knead with flour and salt into a smooth dough. Cover and let rest in a warm place until risen.
Mix the ground meat thoroughly with tomato, green pepper, onion, pomegranate molasses, red pepper flakes, cumin and parsley; the filling is used raw.
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll out into thin rounds, then spread a thin layer of filling on top; the edges are not sealed.
Bake in a preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned and the meat is cooked. Serve hot, squeezing lemon over it if desired.
Important: Dice the tomatoes and peppers in the filling into small cubes; large pieces will release liquid while cooking and cause the dough to become soggy and tear. Roll the dough thin, as a thick base can leave the center raw. Allergen: contains wheat (gluten).
You can use a few drops of lemon juice instead of pomegranate molasses; adding a dessertspoon of pepper paste to the filling gives it a more vibrant color.
